No Insurance? No Problem!

Join our Discovery Dental Plan! If you don’t have dental insurance, you don’t have to worry about it. Getting treated by our professional dentist will be more affordable for you when you join our in-house dental plan!

With the Choice Dental Plan, patients without insurance will be able to have a dental plan that works for them. The best part is that it is all administered in-house by us. Patients will not have to deal with any third party that only has their bottom dollar in mind. For the first time, we can gladly say, “No Insurance? No Problem!”

What to Expect at Your First Visit

Your first visit is all about you – your comfort, your happiness, and your health.

Your First Visit

We will review your dental and medical history forms, and take x-rays. Then, one of our hygienists will clean and polish your teeth as well as do a full periodontal charting. Dr. Vanama will also meet with you to do a comprehensive exam and discuss oral systemic health. After all the information is collected, we will be able to work with you to create an individual treatment plan.

We recommend visiting Dr. Vanama every six months for regular checkups and routine teeth cleanings to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Your regular checkups and cleanings can last between 45 and 90 minutes.

I have been with Discovery Dental for about 3 years now. Dr. Madhuri is very professional. Last year I had my crowns done and was very happy with the outcome. They are always very accommodating and personal with your care, as well as flexible, all depending on your needs. If you don’t have insurance, they offer family plans which I believe includes preventative care. I highly recommend Dr. Vanama and her team; they truly know how to take care of their client's needs.

Frequently Asked Questions Answered by Dr. Vanama

Dentistry is the treatment of the teeth, gums, mouth, and jaw. As advocates for your health, we approach dentistry with a whole body approach where the health of your smile can impact your overall health.

A dentist is a specialist in teeth by diagnosing, treating, and preventing oral health problems. Dr. Vanama has completed at least eight years of schooling at SCB Medical College/Utkal University and University of Southern California and received a DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery) degree. There may be times where she partners with other oral health specialists depending on your smile’s function and health.

Your teeth may feel fine, but problems can exist without you knowing. Dr. Vanama can spot tiny issues before becoming bigger problems, which cannot be seen with the naked eye. By visiting the dentist regularly, you can rest assured your smile is in good hands and keep you smiling for life.

It’s important you choose an Issaquah family dentist who is genuinely looking out for your best interests – not your wallet. When you research for several dentists and schedule that first important, consider the following:

Is the dental team friendly and answering all of my questions clearly?

Is the office easy to find?

Does the office feel like home and is it filled with the latest dental technologies?

Does the dentist explain and visually show you what’s going on with your smile?

Does the dentist answer all of your questions? Does the team present you the costs of treatment before scheduling it?

According to The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), children should visit their first dentist no later than one year of age. Your child’s baby teeth will be coming in, and Dr. Vanama can examine the health of your child’s baby teeth and ensure your child’s smile is on the right path to optimal health.

Everyone should visit the dentist for an exam and hygiene appointment every six months. Patients who are at a higher risk for oral cancer or gum disease may be asked to see the dentist more than just twice a year. At your first visit, Dr. Vanama will discuss her recommendations for how much you should come in for checkups.

A cavity is a small hole building inside the tooth from tooth decay. Tooth decay happens from plaque buildup combined with sugars and starches in the food you eat. In turn, acid is produced and eats away the tooth’s enamel, creating the cavity. If left untreated, it can lead to more serious oral health problems and complex restorative dentistry services. To prevent cavities, brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss at least once.

A filling is used to fill a cavity after Dr. Vanama removes all of the tooth decay. The process is getting fillings are usually painless because your dentist will numb your mouth with an anesthetic. At Discovery Dental, we only use metal-free fillings (composite) to blend with your smile. If you have mercury fillings, ask us how we can remove them for you.

According to the American Dental Association, you should brush your teeth at least twice a day. Brushing removes plaque and keeps your teeth and gums clean and healthy. We advise you use a soft-bristled toothbrush and toothpaste containing fluoride to prevent cavities further. Brush your teeth for 2 minutes, and don’t forget to brush your tongue!

Yes! It’s essential your visit the dentist regularly while getting orthodontic treatment. With braces, food may be caught in places that your toothbrush can’t reach. If not removed, bacteria builds up, leading to cavities, gingivitis, and gum disease. Dr. Vanama will work closely with your orthodontist to make sure your teeth stay clean and healthy while wearing braces.
